Built from around 1948 using their own 50cc engines which were mounted in an unconventional fashion behind the pedal crank, resulting in a velomoteur with a long wheelbase. The fuel tank was mounted below the seat and directly above the spark plug.

Veloto engines were marketed as VLT and were used by Onoto of Dole and DS-Malterre, amongst others. (See VLT, below)
